Don't people realise that the people trying to pass these laws usually(Like the
head of the SMMT(Society of Motor manufacturers and traders) in England who is
the boss of Toyota UK) have a vested interested in NEW cars....Also, the energy
required to build a NEW car is about 75% of the energy that the car will EVER
use itself, ie, the remaining 25% is actually used by the car on the road, so
therefore it is obviously more beneficial to keep existing cars running and
prevent the manufacture of new cars on the grounds of causing pollution.
Phewwwww, I can take a breath now!
What do you all think.
Bye Bye
